It was about a year and a half ago that members of the Student council under ihe re gime of Ralph Kaikes became weary of 'Tce ommcudiug' to the faculty, addressing a jeti Hon to t he committee on student organizations, ami pniujr iineufoicible rules. They became convinced they needed a constitution which would, really give the (Student council some power iu its own right. Further than that they believed that if the Student council is to be supreme among stu dent organizations, that should be stated in black and white in the constitution. They be lieved that it should not be subservient to the whims of the Innocents, the Mortar Boards, i he A. W. S. loard and the Panbellenic coun cils. The constitution committee of the Student coucil has finally written a document which is acceptable, if nut satisfactory, to all student groups and to the University senate. The council is now asking the student body to ratify it. We repeat that it is not entirely satisfactory. Cut it tines have the merit of being a decided improvement over the old constitution. It is the roult of alni'-t no eud of compromise, and it may be admitted that the Student council !i:w done most of the "giving iu." If you'll pardon a historical reference, we wmil'l remind you that the federal constitution the re.-ult f innumerable compromises lii'tweeii different factions, wary of giving up any of their sovereign rights. Wherever pos sible the maker of the constitution made the language as indefinite as possible. In that way they made the document capable of many iuter j retaiimis and elastic enough to meet new eco nomic and Mii ial conditions. We hope that the same is true of the Student council eon i itutiou. When the Student coun cil and the A. W. S. board wrangled over the famous -power'' clause the "makers" settled 'In- ijiiestiou by stating the powers clause in ? T iudefiniie term. The ijuestiou is not set tied yet and it will dejiond on the ability, the igoi-. ami ihe intelligence of the Student coun cil as to whether it will be able to exercise its authority. We sincerely regret lhat ihe council was not able to retain the eligibility clause in its con stitution. There are other things alout it that we don't like. For instance, we believe that the council has been made too large. Hut it's the lest we can get and it's better that) we had before. Those are two good and sufficient reasons why the students should cast iljeir votes Thursday in favor of the new con st i union. " A" 3. ui. s;oira. ifl.- Diary of The Driver.

No doubt the faculty does need all Ihe addi tional space which has beeu granted it, No doubt the instructors do need all the parking room which is theirs at preseut. The remainder, however, should be open to students who need it, not to the drivers who live a brief three or four blocks from the cam pus. As it is now. the students who must drive cars to school the students who live eight or ten or tweuty blocks from the campus ar rive at Twelfth and U streets only to find ihe available space taken up by cars whose owners live "around the comer" from the university grounds. IJequesis by deans that students livig near the campus refrain from driving their cars to school do no good. They have been tried year iu and year out with no results. There is one method, however, which would probably work. 1. ijive windshield stickers, "bearing numbers correspodiug to the license tag of the student's car. to every student who lives more than eight blocks from the campus. 2. l'u l a police tag m every car parked 011 the campus that has no such windshield sticker. The method is worth a try at least. There seems to be no other way out of the difficulty. Cost would be no more than the cost of print ing the stickers. One campus officer could tag cars without stickers fully as easily as he now lags other cars for parking unlawfully, lie could tag a sufficiently large number of cars each day lo act as a powerful warning to violators of the rule, and to secure its enforcement. It would nor take an army it would not take much money. It would probably work. Whv not trv it?

THE newly formed republican government has so far been un able to cope with the situation. A gigantic mass meeting Monday in the heart of Madrid, staged by Red, was held in open defiance of governmental commands. Miguel Maura, minister of the interior, has declared the govern ment would turn the ciiy into an armed camp, wtih bathed wire en tanglements stretched in the streets, machine guns posted and tofore students failing in 40 per cent of their work have been dropped, but. Beginning next Sep tember, the stricter rule will be in effect. i HAY SEED and MILESTONES Four years of college at least makes you wonder where the money's going to come from when you get out. troops reinforced by soldiers from size of the band was increased 8DOUI I my per cem uy me auur som ii did not Officially it was oeciarea inai tion 01 new musicitns the violences were the result of a ine viuiciites rit mc icnun wuuui, n. ....... . - ---- communist and monarchist plot to know a snare drum from a clari War is just more self-expression, on a bigger scale.

More pienic weather aai n-weai her to pie nic or to study. undermine the republic IVjARKED unrest and revolt against existing religious in stitutions, particularly against former state churches, which in many instances shared with the old monarchies in the exploitation of the masses, is evident in vari ous parts of the world. In France in 1789, when the monarchy fell, the Catholic church, the State church of the Burbons. felt the wraih of the mobs whicli ransacked the streets of Paris and roamed throughout the provinces. Russia, since the Soviet govern ment has been in power, has wit nessed a violent revolt against the old Greek church, the state church under the Czars. In Spain, the Roman Catholic institutions, which previous to King Alfonso's withdrawal was the state church, are now feeling the wTath of the mob. MORNING MAIL IX each case it would seem that the religious institutions which flourished under the protection of the monarchial governments while the masses suffered, eventually met disaster, once those masses had the upper hand. The bate born of centuries of suffering and oppression in each case has shown up once the mob has gamed control. This might possibly be explained when one considers that Christian ity is based upon the ideal of ser vice and love for all mankind, and not for any particularly privileged class. When the institutions pur porting to be purveyors of Chris tianity have forgotten this, it would seem that they eventually have suffered. DOSSIBLY, however, this mob uprising against the state churches may be interpreted in a different manner. It may be hatred for the govern ment, which when loosed by the mob, find expression in the de struction of anything which sym bolizes that government. The church in these countries symbol izes, to a certain extent at least, the government and in its effort to damage something tangible having to do with the government, the mob destroys the charch property. PerhaDS. then, rather than any particular injustice which the church has inflicted, it is mereiy the desire to destioy anything connected with the old government which motivates the mob. VTHATEVER the reason may be. it would seem that King Al fonso knew whe! he was well off. for his successors appear to have their hands full in handling the governmental affairs of the coun try just now.

Many of the law students were called away from their cases to see what was going on from the third story windows of University hall. The reason for the crowds at the win dows was the prohibition of male spectators on the field. Eighty girls took part in the meet. tttl, Nebraska's traditional iron fence was torn down, and the original campus cf the university was no longer surrounded by black pick ets. The old landmark excluded so cial science building, chemistry hall, and Bessey hall. The iron bar rier was erected some 30 years ago at a cost of 56,800, and the spikes were carted horizontally to the ag ricultural college campus. Cars were al such a premium that the senior class sent out an invitation to all students in school with cars at their disposal to par ticipate in the senior picnic at Crete, in connection with carrying members of the class to and from the picnic grounds.
